Melanie and I recently bought the Donvier manual ice cream maker at a garage sale and we love it. This hand crank ice cream maker literally turns out perfect ice cream in minutes without ice or rock salt. This is the cheapest way to get fresh, healthy ice cream at home that I have ever seen.

We eat a lot of ice cream in our house. We always look at the labels and check for ingredients in anything we buy. To get all natural ice cream you have to pay a lot more. By making ice cream at home we can now save a lot of money.

You put the aluminum tub into the freezer over night and let it chill.

Pull out the tub when you are ready to make ice cream.

Blend the ingredients in a separate bowl.

Put the frozen tub into the ice cream maker pot and put on the rubber gasket. This gives a nice seal to hold the cold inside.

Then pour in the ice cream ingredients. Put on the lid and the handle and start to turn.

With this ice cream maker you do not have to turn all the time. On the contrary you get best results with only occasional turning of the handle. You let the frozen tub do all the work for you.

Once every few minutes you give it a few turns of the handle. Soon you will see the ice cream start to thicken.

Making homemade ice cream

Let it set after you turn it and the ice cream starts to solidify. Again, give it a few turns now and then.

When the ice cream has reached the desired thickness simply remove the handle and lid and serve.

Homemade ice cream using Donvier ice cream maker

They suggest you only use plastic utensils in order to prevent scratching of the tub. When washing only use a soft sponge and nothing abrasive. This will ensure long life of your manual ice cream maker.

No more sweating and laboring over your hand crank ice cream maker. No more need for crushed ice or rock salt. This turns out perfect ice cream at a reduced cost.

Melanie and I make up our own ice cream recipes so it is best if you follow the manual that comes with the machine until you are comfortable with it. We use all natural ingredients in our homemade ice cream.
